It was gentle, and after using it for a few days, I noticed an improvement in my skin texture. The cream itself was a bit thick to apply, so I mixed it with my usual serum, and the lasting power was impressive. Usually, even with layers of toner, serum, ampoule, mist, and cream, my extremely dry skin would still have makeup flaking off... But with this product, my makeup adhered well, and I didn't feel any dryness morning or night. I've had a great experience using it. I also liked the clean packaging design. Highly recommended for those with dry skin.
ConsMy sister has oily skin, and after using this product, her makeup looked greasy and seemed to float on her skin. While it might work well for those with dry skin, I wouldn't strongly recommend it for people with oily skin. The texture feels a bit thick when applying.
TipThis product doesn't apply lightly, so if you prefer a less heavy feel, try mixing it with your favorite serum or toner. It's perfect for those with dry skin or as a winter moisturizer.

I have sensitive skin and often use cica creams or balms, and this product felt similar. While using it, I didn't experience any burning sensations or redness on areas with dermatitis, allowing for stable use. *Application & Moisturizing feel It doesn't feel as hydrating or water-rich as a typical moisturizer. The texture is softer than a balm but firmer and more oil-rich than a water cream. When applied alone, it doesn't leave a sticky or deeply moisturized feeling, but rather a soft, velvety finish like a thin oil coating. It works well when layered over other moisturizers or serums, or when mixed with them, helping to lock in hydration. *Gentle ingredients I appreciated that the ingredients didn't seem irritating. Often, I worry about potential blemishes when trying a new product overnight, but this didn't cause any skin issues or breakouts. You can apply it with peace of mind.
Cons*Slight oil production over time Due to its oil content, applying too much might lead to some oiliness as time passes. *Scent Products containing centella extract often have a divisive scent. While I didn't mind it much, I wouldn't say it's particularly pleasant. *Slight stiffness and somewhat lacking hydration when used alone This seems to be a characteristic of the product, as it's designed to be mixed with other serums. It applies well and provides sufficient hydration when combined with your usual moisturizer, serum, or essence.
TipIt works really well when mixed with Innisfree's The Minimum Ampoule Essence for a truly gentle combination.

If you understand how to use this product properly for your skin type, it's a total game-changer! (Finding the right ratio for your skin is key, you'll get the hang of it after a couple of tries). Since it's not very hydrating on its own, make sure to apply your toner and hydrating products first, then mix it with a serum for best results. In the morning, your skin feels baby-soft and smooth! The packaging is great - it's like a toothpaste tube that doesn't leave residue around the opening, very clean and hygienic. The scent is herbal and grassy - it might be surprising at first, but it grows on you. The texture is a cream with low water content, which might seem thick at first glance. It feels a bit stiff when applying, but once it's on, it's lightweight and creates a thin, velvety barrier. It doesn't leave a heavy layer, which I love. Absorption is slower than expected, so pat it in well. For my combination-dry skin, it reminds me of a cica cream (no surprise, it contains Centella Asiatica extract!). The DIY concept really shines through. On the first night, I applied it twice for adequate hydration. By day 2, I mixed it with a serum (Lancôme Advanced Génifique) for easier application and better hydration. I'll keep testing different combinations and share more tips!
ConsThe downside is that the product itself lacks hydration, making it feel a bit dry and stiff when applying. Even after application, it forms a barrier but doesn't feel very moisturizing inside. I expected more hydration from the panthenol, but it wasn't quite enough (not suitable for solo use, better for DIY mixing). On the first night, after applying it twice, I experienced some redness and itching. It was an unusual skin reaction that worried me. The second night, even when mixed with serum, the itching returned. After some research, I found out that this can happen when skin lacks moisture. I quickly applied a ceramide emulsion, which immediately calmed the itching. It's clear that this cream works best when blended with other products, especially hydrating ones!
TipAfter using it for over a week, I noticed it's actually quite rich. Dry skin types should definitely layer hydrating products underneath, while oily skin types need to be careful with the amount. I recommend mixing it with a hydrating essence or cream (preferably with hyaluronic acid) rather than a watery ampoule. Despite the lack of hydration mentioned in the cons, this cream can be a 3-in-1 solution if used correctly. Apply a light layer of hydrating product first, then mix this cream with a serum or ampoule that targets your specific skin concerns. This way, you can customize your skincare routine and protect those active ingredients with the cream's barrier-forming properties. For best results, start by mixing a small amount of cream with your chosen serum/ampoule, apply that mixture, let it absorb, then follow up with a very thin layer of the cream alone.
